Rules about sharing BBC content

Use sharing buttons

Some pages on the BBC have a button that lets you “Share” a link to that page. It’s a great way of telling your friends about something interesting. Click the Share button and you’ll see a list of services such as Facebook, Google+ or Twitter.

We’ve chosen the ones that are most popular with people who use the BBC. On some BBC pages, Facebook and Twitter are more prominent as they’re the most popular. All the sharing services we link to can be used for free.

When you share to a social media platform their terms will apply. Do read their terms (which you can search for online).
